SHOW NOTES

INTRODUCING ASHLYN MOHLING!

One of the key principles of the FFA is service, and observing students in their projects for the past six years I have definitely seen great examples of this. One thing is for sure. Once you get introduced to serving others and have that positive experience, it can be something that changes you. And, you definitely finding yourself wanting more of that feeling.

Our guest in today’s episode, Ashlyn Mohling, exemplifies this. Her parents have been involved with therapeutic riding for kids who need the extra help for some time, and as part of Ashlyn’s supervised agricultural experience she took up the reigns on this project. Ashlyn loves horses and has been raised around them. Through her parent’s efforts and the requirements of the FFA, she has found a way to combine what she loves with service to others.

Ashlyn has definitely been bitten by the bug of service, and she sees herself helping people through the use of horses for years to come. She has graduated high school now, and she is studying veterinary technology at the Nebraska College Of Technical Agriculture. And, just this year she was recognized for her efforts by being named the 2020 National Proficiency Winner in Equine Entrepreneurship.

Students like Ashlyn make me very proud, and we are very proud to have Ashlyn on the show today!

REASONS TO DONATE TO FFA:

Only 2% of Americans grow and raise most of the food and livestock consumed by the other 98% as well as the rest of the world. FFA is providing the needed education, training and resources to Americans that will carry that torch forward and insure that America continues to have inexpensive, quality food.
Rural Communities will rely on entrepreneurship in the future for population growth and job creation. The FFA is a major catalyst to that entrepreneurial growth.
Farmers, ranchers and those working in agriculture give the rest of America incredible amounts of freedom because the search for food is as simple as going to the grocery store:

“The future of American agriculture depends on the involvement and investment in America’s youth, In order to prepare for the population of tomorrow, we need to encourage America’s youth today, and show that careers in agriculture are profitable, rewarding, and vital.”.

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, Sonny Perdue
